| 0:00.0 | all right welcome back to the liz wheeler show i'm your host liz wheeler it is good to see you all |
| 0:05.0 | thank you for joining us today you know we had a show all prepped for you all planned out um and then of |
| 0:11.3 | course news broke right before we were about to go on air the news that the cases against former |
| 0:17.6 | fbi director james combe and against against New York Attorney General Letitia James |
| 0:21.3 | have been thrown out by a judge. Now, if you're anything like me, your first reaction was |
| 0:26.5 | judicial insurrection. This is another leftist judge, illegally using, in this case, her power |
| 0:34.0 | to try to stymie the Trump administration. And that may be the case. |

| 1:33.8 | who presented the case to the grand jury, was unlawfully appointed in violation of 28 U.S.C. 546 |
| 1:40.1 | and the Constitution's Appointments Clause. As explained below, the judge writes, I agree with Ms. James that the Attorney General's |
